Give Your
Children Protection
From Measles
A few centimeters of a clear,
colorless liquid may seem no
match for a disease which has
been called “the most under
rated childhood disorder in the
United States.” But for children
in Bryan County, it is soon to
be available free of charge and
will offer protection for a life-

time against a longtime enemy:
RED MEASLES.
The simple, quick procedure
of immunization will protect
Bryan County’s children, from
ten months of age through the
fifth grade against red, or
seven-day, measles which can be
accompanied by serious compli
cations including encephalitis
(an inflammation of the brain),
mental retardation, blindness,
and deafness. The “End Meas
les” campaign in Bryan Coun
ty is part of a statewide effort
to eradicate measles in Georgia.
Teams of nurses and tech
nicians will visit the Bryan
County elementary school on
February 12 and 13, and will
administer the vaccine with
modern jet injectors which are
virtually painless. Those chil
dren who have already had
“red” or “seven day” measles
, or who have already had the
, vaccine, are not susceptible.
However, if there is doubt as
to whether or not a child has
. had the disease or the vaccine,

THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL, Thursday, February 13, 1969—
Talmadge Urges
Action Against
Plane Hijacking
ATLANTA, (GPS) — U. S.
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge,
lashing out at “the plague of
hijackings” that has hit com
mercial airlines, announced
from Washington his support of
Senate action to tighten inter
national control over the prob
lem.
"I think it is imperative that
our government act at the earli
est possible moment to curb il
legal aircraft hijackings to
Havana,” Sen. Talmadge said,
proportions in the Western
Hemisphere that no passenger
on a commercial flight in the
Southern United States and the
Caribbean area can be sure that
he won’t end up on Castro’s
doorstep.”
“In addition to the great per
sonal risk confronting the pas
sengers themselves,” he added,
“tremendous cost and incon
venience has been inflicted on
the airlines. This is a prepost
erous situation that must not be
allowed to go on.”
Sen. Talmadge joined in co
sponsoring a resolution author
ed by Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D.-
Conn., calling on the adminis
tration to “move immediately”
to strengthen the Tokyo Con
vention to hijacking.
Under the proposal, the con
vention would be amended to
(1) provide for the automatic
extradition of all hijackers to
the flag country of the aircraft,
and its immediate release to
gether with their crews and
passengers, and (2) to make it
mandatory for the signatory na
tions to terminate bilateral air
transport arrangements with
any country that refused to be
come a party to this agreement.
The question of strengthening
the Tokyo Convention has been
under consideration by the In
ternational Civil Aviation Or
ganization since last September,
and a special subcommittee of
the group is currently meeting
in Montreal, Canada, to discuss
the problem.
“I hope America representa
tives at this meeting will push
for action along the lines we
propose and, if that proves too
slow and cumbersome, then the
United States government
should call for a special interna
tional conference as soon as
possible,” Sen. Talmadge de
clared.
1968 Ga. Traffic
Death Rate Held
To 1967's Level
ATLANTA (GPS), — Even
though Georgia’s traffic death
toll set a new high in 1968,
surpassing 1967 by some 8 per
cent, the state’s traffic death
rate for the two years remained
unchanged. “How could be?”
one might ask.
The State Patrol, in a statis
tical report just released by
Col. R. H. Burson, director of
the Georgia Department of
Public Safety, explains it.
Last year a total of 2,337,675
| motor vehicles were registered
; in Georgia, an increase of 169,-
. 808 over 1967. These cars and
• trucks traveled a total of 27,-
i 104,116,816 miles, an increase
. of more than 2.1-billion miles
. over 1967.
; The national traffic death
i rate is based on the number of
. persons killed to each 100-mil
. lion miles of automotive travel.
, In Georgia last year the traffic
■ death rate was 6.5, the same as
; in 1967 when 8 per cent fewer
i cars traveled 9 per cent fewer
miles within the state.
“Naturally, we are pleased
i that Georgia’s traffic death
> rate has not risen even in face
> of this huge increase in motor
■ travel, and we think it is a
: tribute to the hard - working
. men of our patrol who are as
s signed to police the largest
. state east of the Mississippi
River,” Col. Burson commented.
“But we are not satisfied,
and we won’t be satisfied until
we can reduce both the death
toll and the death rate in Geor
gia. This can be done only with
more troopers — enough troop
ers to adequately patrol the 90,-
000 miles of roads in the state.”
